Cytron 20Amp 6V-30V DC Motor Driver
The Cytron 20A 6V-30V DC Motor Driver (MD20A) is a robust and efficient DC motor driver designed for high-power applications. Built around a discrete NMOS H-Bridge architecture, this 20A motor driver can continuously handle 20A current without requiring an external heatsink, making it a compact and reliable choice for your motor control needs.
This high current motor driver 20A model features onboard test buttons and motor output LEDs, enabling quick functional testing without a controller. With an input logic voltage range of 1.8V to 12V, the MD20A is fully compatible with various host systems including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and PLCs.
It supports simple control via PWM and DIR inputs. Integrated protection features such as overcurrent and temperature-based current limiting safeguard the driver and connected motor, ensuring dependable operation even under demanding conditions.
Whether you are working on robotics, automation, or other motor control projects, the Cytron MD20A is a powerful and reliable solution.
Note: Power input does not have reverse-voltage protection. Connecting the battery in reverse polarity will damage the motor driver instantaneously.
